The Humblebums - Song For Simon

Copied!

Mr. McGonagle sits on the chimneytop wondering how he got there
A minute ago he was in his bed sleeping and now he's way up in the air
Who knows what the day will bring, it could bring anything
Who knows if we'll still be here, we could be there

Mrs. McDonagh was playing her banjo and singing a sweet lullaby
When all of a sudden there came a great crash, now she's flying way up in the sky
Who knows what the day will bring, it could bring anything
Who knows if we'll still be here, we could be there

Young Joseph Egan was cleaning his motorcar one Sunday morning in May
When out of the bonnet that there came a great giant and carried young Joseph away
Who knows what the day will bring, it could bring anything
Who knows if we'll still be here, we could be there

The Humblebums were a Scottish folk group that originated in Glasgow in the mid 1960s. The band was formed by two talented musicians, Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty. The duo quickly gained a following in the local music scene with their unique blend of folk, blues, and comedy.

Billy Connolly, known for his comedic talent and charismatic stage presence, provided the group with humorous lyrics and entertaining banter during their performances. Gerry Rafferty, on the other hand, brought his exceptional songwriting skills and musical prowess to the table, creating a dynamic musical partnership that captivated audiences.

The Humblebums released several albums during their time together, including "First Collection of Merry Melodies" and "The New Humblebums." Despite their success as a duo, Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty eventually decided to pursue separate musical paths.

Both Connolly and Rafferty went on to achieve further fame and success in their respective solo careers. Billy Connolly became a household name as a comedian and actor, while Gerry Rafferty found international acclaim with hit songs like "Baker Street" and "Stuck in the Middle with You."

Although The Humblebums may have been short-lived, their influence in the Scottish folk music scene and the lasting impact of their individual careers continue to be felt to this day. The duo's legacy lives on through their timeless music and the enduring talents of Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty.
